Description
Alan Silva is a talented musician and a songwriter.
He lives in San Diego and performs on Lusitone Records. He has played at a variety of open mics and has a total of ten albums. Currently, he is working on new material.
Music:
Alans style is derived from listening to lots of old music and reading books. He is a great admirer of music from everywhere, especially during the 1960s and -70s. Silvas song-writing style is both literary and entertaining. It supports a dreamy fugue. This is accomplished by the use of guitar, piano, and harp in his melodies. The combination of these instruments with his idiosyncratic vocal style summons an ethereal, bohemian mood, accentuated by a lo-fi recording culture. It is a tasteful recipe. Other musicians have also collaborated with him, to his amazement.
Alan enjoys song-writing themes such as dreams, travel, outsider representation, love, and philosophical musings.

--Jefferson Jay
